The Internet and related communications technology have radically changed the lives of millions around the globe in a very short time. But what kind of impact has it had on people's lives? This book, in chapters that explore many important issues, such as gender, politics, education, race, gender relations, the environment, and social protest movements, attempts to answer the following central questions: What is truly new about so-called "new media"? What is mere propaganda? How has digital communications technology made our lives easier or harder? How can these media, technologies, and practices contribute to a richer cultural landscape and a more sustainable society? The book discusses the important issue that understanding digital culture means looking beyond the shiny surface of technical devices to ask deeper questions about how we can leverage technology to create a more just world-socially, economically, and politically.
